Balance. 1,727, 3s7, 791
This shows that the liquor traffic has
cost thus country more money by one
and three-fourths billions of dollars than
the six great facts mentioned. What an
enormous waste!
What has prohibition done for Wa
Keeney?
$9OO,0OO,O0O was spent for liquor in
1886 in the United States. Suppose we
have population of 100000, and that
each inhabitant had spent an equal share,
of this money for liquor, it would equal
$15 to each man, woman and child. A
family of four would spend $50, or of six
would spend $50. Suppose the popula-
ton OF Wa-Keeney and vicinity to be
200, and suppose that last year we paid,
in proportion to the average, $15 each
for liquor, it would amount to $4,000.
Prohibition means $4,000 to Wa-Keeney.
If it did not mean $4,000 last year it is
because somebody violated the law.
Nevertheless, there is big difference
between smuggling liquor, shipping it
with fictitious marks and drinking it in
barns or back in the alleys, and open
saloons, where it is considered lawful and
popular, and where young men are en-
ticed into gilded palaces only to be de-
ceived and ruined.
Business men, do you know that pro-
hibition means $4,000 in business cir
culation, part of which passes over your
counters? Let us see! What can we do
with $4,000? We can pay 1880 for
schools. We ca pay $1,000 for churches
and expenses. We can pay for four
barrels of flour for. each family of six
persons, or $4,000. We can buy two
pairs of shoes at So per pair for each of
the 1000 inhabitants, or $1,000, and then
have $500 left of the $4,000. It pays to
have prohibition; besides, our boys and
girls are sober, genteel, happy and bright.
1 hope the day will never come when
there will be place in Wa-Keeney
licensed to sell liquor. We have no need
whatever for licensed drug store. The
doctors have a perfect right, according
to the Murray law, to use any kind of
liquor as medicine where, in their judg-
ment it is necessary for their patients.
The druggists have perfect right to
furnish the doctors with liquors as with
any other medicine, so that covers the
whole ground in cases of sickness. We
have no scientific nor mechanical
devices that need or use liquor in this
town to such an extent as to pay any
man to take out a permit. Moreover, to
grant permit means to set the tempta-
ton to both the druggist and the boys to
violate the law. It will teach the boys to
swear falsely, for unless they would swear
that they were sick they could not COM
ply with the oath.
I hope the citizens will see to it that
such temptation is not placed before our
boys. To the members OF my church, I
will say it is positive violation OF the
law Of our church to sign petition to
grant permit to sell liquor, and the
church requires the minister to enforce
the law.

THE LAND OFFICE.

The Wallace Mems, in marked contrast
with the crazy -conundrum attitude Of q
certain alleged organ which tries to In
jure Trego county at every turn, but sue
ceeds like Cox did when he provoked
'sShoo Flyr' from Ben Butler, takes the
position that the land Office of this dis
trict should remain at Wa-Keeney. The
News says the removal OF the Office from
Wa-Keeney to OakleySWould not benefit
materially the people of the western
counties, who are the most in need Of q
land Office near their doors. That paper
would have new land Office established
by law at Wallace. This is what the
World has urged all along. The News
says, "If new set of officers can't be sus-
tanned, give us the Salina officers. This
is sensible, too, because, in this event, the
limits of the WaKeeney land district
would be extended eastward, thus
making up, in measure, for her loss on
the west.
The News concludes with: "The peo-
pie of the above named counties Wal
lace. Greeley, Sherman and Wichita
should agree upon the matter, and enter
a protest against the removal of the Office
to Oakley. The counties referred must
must have united action, without which
we can accomplish nothing. Every
county can't have land Office, 80 let us
unite and secure one where it viii &C.

Plenty Of Money at Wa-Keeney.

There is a perceptible scarcity OF
money in the banks of the city, owing to
the large amounts now on deposit at Wa
Keeney awaiting action on final proofs.
It is high time that the business Of this
district should be so arranged that peo-
pie would not have to wait such an inter.
minable time to get their final receipts
or their money.

TEMPERANCE ADDRESS.
Synopsis of An Address Delivered
by Rev. w. III. Mahafie Last
Sunday Evening.

/ Text-Matt. 27-6: "It is not lawful to
put them into the treasury because it is
the price of blood"
Judas sold Jesus for thirty pieces of
silver, equal to about $15. After he saw
his crime he threw down the silver and
disposed of his own life. The chief
priests decided it unlawful to put the
money into the treasury, for it was the
price of blood, and SO they bought a pot
ter's field to bury strangers and paupers
in. For some time past our country has
been selling the right to engage in a
traffic which takes from 10000 to 5000
of the best young men of our country
every year to a horrible death of shame
and woe. Oh, this blood money! It is
well to investigate, to compare, and If the
liquor traffic has aught In its favor, grant
it its dues. The traffic began away back
at the time of Noah, and have failed to
find in history, experience or fact single
item in it's favor. If it has done less evil
and more good, give it credit for the
balance of good in its favor, but I have
failed to find it.
DR.. Dorchester, one of the best statis-
ticians in the United States, has written a
book of about 600 pages, entitled sThe
Liquor Problem in All Ages" It cost
him large sum to compile the statistics
of the liquor traffic. He says he was not
able to get all the facts, SO that his figures
are too small rather than exaggerated.
He has reckoned the cost of liquors in the
United States, direct and indirect, and at
5 per cent. interest, to be the enormous
sum of 1871, 725, OH ,431, and of fictitious
liquors for the past As years, at per cent,
and it gives the sum of $47, 1855, 1854
Adding these gives us $179, 1854, 159, 1852, a
sum entirely too large for any finite mind
to fully comprehend. If the sum were in
silver dollars it would take about LOO
trains of 20 cars each to carry it. This
amount has been paid for liquor from
1887 to 1885, or SO years-the whole
number of years our government has
been working under constitution. Du-
ring this time the government has re-
ceived from the liquor traffic in revenue
and license, $8,732, 1903. Take this
from the cost, as before given, and it
leaves $17O,951, 551, 1863! The people of
our country have paid out this enormous
sum of money for that which makes
paupers, crime, and misery, brings death
and hell. Let us compare this sum with
other accounts that we, as nation, have
to do with:
